February 18, 2014 (DES PLAINES, Ill.) --

Video shows a Metra train colliding with a car at a railroad crossing in Des Plaines, Ill.

No one was injured in this crash on Monday afternoon. Someone used a cell phone to record the collision at Des Plaines River Road in the Northwest suburb. The Ford Taurus lost traction on the snow-covered tracks. As the gate lowered, the driver tried to reverse out of the train's path, but the car was stuck.

The frontend of the Ford Taurus was struck by a westbound Metra UP Northwest train. The crash delayed trains in both directions during the Monday evening commute.
